For some reason I have a bad feeling about this game, particularly considering the embarrasment we gave them in last game. The saving grace for me is that Kobe was supernova in that game, and we still killed them.
We got lucky to survive early on with the horrible job the refs were doing, putting our players in foul trouble very quickly.
That said, Pierce was supernova himself... chances are it may not happen again, though playing in LA seems to bring out the best of Pierce at times.
